TERRY O’NEILL – S ROCK ‘N’ ROLL ALBUM

On the occasion of the publication of his new book, Eduard Planting Gallery in Amsterdam presents an exhibition of British celebrity photographer Terry O’Neill. The exhibition, from 21 March until 23 May, shows iconic portraits of music legends like The Beatles, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Amy Winehouse. The photographer will be present at the opening.

‘Terry O’Neill’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Album’ comprises a vital chronicle of Rock ‘n’ Roll history with also early images of young musicians. The book includes 250 photos in colour and black and white. A special edition is available in XL format with a photograph of The Beatles in 1964.

As a photographer Terry O’Neill built up a close relation with many artists and pop stars. That’s why he was able to make intimate images on sites where others never would have been allowed, backstage as well as private.

Terry O’Neill was born in London in 1938 and after an early career as a jazz drummer, he picked up a camera in 1960. No one has captured the frontline of fame so broadly and for so long. He pioneered a more reportage style of celebrity photography.

During his 50-year career, Terry O’Neill has worked for the most prestigious magazines. His work is exhibited in more than 30 cities around the world and is in the permanent collections of many national galleries.
